Abstract:
Papillary renal cell carcinoma is a histological variant that may be cystic in appearance. This variety has been termed cystadenocarcinoma to distinguish it from a renal cell carcinoma that has been rendered cystic through necrosis and hemorrhage. Because a greater proportion presented as stage I lesion, papillary renal cell carcinoma has been reported to have a better prognosis than renal cell carcinoma in general. We report a case of cystadenocarcinoma of the kidney that was confirmed by surgical exploration.
